Disable cameras temporarily

I've seen this suggested several times over the past several years and I believe this would be a pretty simple addition to the apps.  There are times I will disable certain cameras when I know people are going to be setting them off repeatedly.  However, when I disable a camera I have to remember to turn it back on.  Why not have a setting to temporarily disable one or several cameras for a finite period of time?  Such a simple addition this would be to increase the usefulness of the cameras.  Does anyone from Arlo read these suggestions?

I was totally amused/frustrated to get std email today from Arlo about this thread.  The OP wrote: "I've seen this suggested several times over the past several years and I believe this would be a pretty simple addition to the apps." and that was Oct. 1, 2019

About a year ago I gave up on Arlo ever taking any action on this and several other things that the forum community suggested.  When I first joined forum I was naively optimistic about Arlo as a vendor, but was far too slow to realize that for many "basic" functions we were on our own to figure out work arounds; OR as the Arlo supervisor wrote above: "Although it can be complicated to set up, the existing schedule does allow you to have different cameras on different schedules." Yeah and just how helpful is a complicated action, when something unusual happens that is not on any schedule that can be anticipated!
